Youth Ministry

The youth ministry of FUMC is designed to be a safe place for all youth, 6th-12th grades, to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and to learn how to share that faith with others. Our youth group is very service oriented and you will find that we enjoy serving others through various missions and ministries.
..
Our youth gather on Saturday nights from 6-8 p.m. in the Youth Loft for fellowship, worship, games, and faith development through a variety of activities. All youth and their friends are welcome to join us on Saturday evenings and we encourage the participation of parents. Parental influence is vital to the success of our youth program and we ask parents to sign-up to provide weekly snacks and to serve as a youth sponsor aid at least two times throughout the school year.
Youth Sponsors

In order to be the person that God wants me to be,
On this day I vow to:
..
1) Keep God in my life through all things, in all things and for all things.
2) Be someone who has the strength to resist negativity.
3) Stand up for what is right, when everyone else believes in what is wrong.
4) Be a friend who can listen, laugh, and comfort.
5) Be first to show kindness and return the kindness that others show to me.
6) Care about others.
7) Remember I am someone who can make a difference.
8) Believe that true love waits.
9) Abstain from drugs and alcohol or anything that damages my body, mind, and spirit.
10) Understand that it is OK to make mistakes, as long as I learn from them.
..
These things I promise to God, myself, my family, my friends, and this congregation.
